Boston mayor forces Dr's to ID gun owners

Boston Mayor’s Office to Force Doctors to Identify and Document Patients Who Own Guns

Joseph Stalin’s firearms registration and confiscation was a tremendous success for the Socialist state.

It’s no secret that Democrats are hoping to repeat this history here in the United States.

The Boston Mayor’s Office is pushing a new program to force doctors to identify and document patients who have guns in their homes.

They say it is so they can help the people.

So did Hitler and the Soviets.

Democrats will not stop until they have total control of your life.

The Biz Journals reported:

Here are three of the top goals for health care legislation outlined by his office:

Involving doctors in gun safety: This act would require medical professionals to ask patients about guns in the home, and bring up the topics of gun safety.

The goal, Boston Police Commissioner William Gross said, is to identify those at risk for domestic violence, suicide or child access to guns in order to guide people to mental health counseling, resources or other help.

“We’re just asking them to help identify ways to save lives,” Gross said.

The fact that a patient owns guns would not be put in their medical record, and is not intended to have physicians help solve crimes.

Chief of Health and Human Services Marty Martinez said that while the program is already common practice at many of the city’s community health centers, legislation would broaden the program statewide.

So if they deem someone poses a risk of domestic violence or suicide, but doesn't own guns, will they tell them to remove knives, bats, golf clubs, hammers, etc from their house or maybe just ignore it? Or do people only use guns to injure their spouse or themselves?

Translation: Tell us you have a gun so we can "red flag" you and take your gun for your own safety.

Exactly. And we are supposed to just sit back and accept the unconstitutional Red Flag laws? No way. This is just how it all starts. There are plenty of anti-2A health care professionals out there just chomping at the bit to do this.

If they are forced to ask, then I will be forced to refuse to answer them to protect myself. Then, I will start asking them uncomfortable questions about the number of people killed and maimed by doctors and health professionals committing malpractice.

if i was a dr i would start the question with the government wants me to ask . if you were a dr would you mark everyone yes or no ? if you mark everyone yes it would give the government a lot more doors to knock on when they get there way .

Re: Boston mayor forces Dr's to ID gun owners

Nope. Never liked guns. Only carried one as a LE because I had to. The gun was property of the township. When I retired, the gun remained in the armory.

So far, so good. Next: similar to lying to an FBI agent is actionable, refine that law to include medical personnel. Now they would be doing something! (ALERT-SARC)

It will be worse than that. They will just deny you health care. This is one of the reasons the Government wants a single payor system or some form of nationalized health care. More control, more capacity to dictate your life and how you live and then penalize you for not going along for the greater good.
